InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kismet ❯ I Can Has? ( Chapter 9 )

I Can Has?

 

Sango in pre-“not-a-date” mode is pretty darned humorous. Her room looked like a hurricane hit it. Her closet had exploded and she even let me take her to the mall!

 

Of course, she was really tight-lipped about why they were going out in the first place. I'd begged and prodded and poked and done everything to get her to tell me but her lips were sealed.

 

“Are you going to tell me now?”

 

“Nothing doing.”

 

“But Sango!” If she didn't tell me, how was I supposed to give Miroku advice?

 

“You'll just encourage him!”

 

“Well, yeah, that was the point.” I rolled over on her bed, tugging a hanger out from under me. “One of us has to have a love life, and I'm not going to be in luck any time soon.”

 

“This isn't part of my love life. I'm… exploring my past.”

 

“With a guy you're fated to be with in the future.”

 

Sango glared over her shoulder at me. “Fate doesn't make decisions for me, Kim.”

 

I blinked. “Um… actually, that's kind of what fate is, isn't it? Anyway, stop avoiding the question. Why are you going on a date if you don't like him?”

 

“It's not a date!”

 

Suuuuuure. Keep telling yourself that, Sango. Not that she would listen to me. Oh, no. Miroku was taking her out to dinner. Just the two of them. To a place nicer than McDonald's.

 

But no, totally not a date.

 

“It's just a friendly outing! Between friends!”

 

“As opposed to a friendly outing between enemies?” I questioned sarcastically.

 

She didn't appreciate my sarcasm and remained silent.

 

“So, okay, fine. When did you decide you were friends? I thought you couldn't stand him.”

 

Sango wouldn't meet my eyes, and that was suspicious.

 

“Sango?”

 

She was saved by the bell - well, by Miroku knocking on her bedroom door. I wiggled my fingers at him and grinned as I noticed he was smiling like an idiot.

 

Then Sango moved to where he could see her, and his jaw dropped.

 

Oh yeah, I did good.

 

“You look… amazing.”

 

I swooned. Sango wasn't going to, so I did it for her. She blushed, though. Good job, Miroku!

 

“Um, thanks. Should we get going?”

 

Miroku grinned even harder and tugged her close. “We could stay right here instead and get a head start on the rest of our life,” he offered, just loud enough for me to hear. I buried my face in my hands as a smack rang out.

 

What a good start to a date.

 

After Miroku begged for forgiveness, he gallantly let her lead the way.

 

I followed closely behind. No reason to let Miroku flounder through this alone…

 

OoO**OoO**OoO
